Raal 1995 Immanis

The design of the new Raal 1995 models offers an alternative to the steampunk elements of the SR1 and the DIY aesthetic of the CA-1a. And despite the classic coupling to the ear by means of ear pads, the sound characteristics remain extremely open, with even better bass.

Outstanding Craftmanship

The memory foam ear pads are covered with lamb suede on the inside and perforated leather on the outside. The round ear pad opening should also provide comfort for large ears. Conventional 3.5 mm TRRS sockets are used as connections.

The three Immanis ribbons have a combined surface area of 25.2 cm², a shell diameter of 11 cm and an impedance of 0.057Ω (0.29Ω with the 1.8 m long Star-8 MkII headphone cable). The maximum sound pressure level increases by 3 dB, the round ear cup opening increases to 74 mm, and the weight to 610 g. The grill is now gold-plated. In comparison, the Magna ribbons have almost 29% more surface area than the CA-1 driver, while the Immanis ribbons are almost twice the surface area of the CA-1 and 1.45 times larger than the SR1. Between them, Immanis offers 50% more surface area than Magna and has a larger front chamber. There are also differences in bridge details, headband seams and included cables.

Which version do I need?

The Immanis requires a special amplifier that can handle the almost non-existent resistance of the headphones. A special interface in the form of a headphone stand has been developed for the new Immanis and Magna, which, together with a special cable, enables connection to a “normal” headphone amplifier. The Immanis can of course also be connected to an existing TI-1a/b/c, HSA or VM (Direct Drive Amplifier) interface.
